How to book an anniversary mass

The best way to book an anniversary mass is to send an email/letter (with your phone number included) at any time to the parish priest. See the contact details HERE. It is also possible to ring or call in person at the above office hours, but not outside of these please. More simply: 1 . email or letter to the parish office at any time 2 . phone call or in person to the parish office at the above times These two ways of booking an anniversary mass allow the names of the deceased remembered to be entered on the parish cloud calendar in addition to the parish diary. After Sunday masses is not the ideal time therefore. If you would like like to see how busy the weekend masses are with intentions, please go to this page HERE and refer to the parish cloud calendar. Thank you.

Use of the parish offices

The Parish Office Complex includes meeting rooms and wheelchair accessible toilets. A meeting room may be reserved by voluntary groups within our parish subject to availability. There will not be a fee for parish faith-based groups. For the purpose of insurance and good management, groups wishing to hold occasional meetings in the complex must submit a written request for use of a meeting room and nominate a group delegate who will provide contact details when reserving a room. Meeting rooms are strictly not available after 9pm. It is not possible to use the complex for meetings during the weekend. Private parties, family celebrations or such events cannot be facilitated in the Parish Office Complex. From time to time, the meeting rooms may be available for extra-parish groups. By extra-parish it is meant groups that are not involved directly with the life of the catholic parish, but contribute (often greatly) to the wider community. There will be a fee involved, to assist in services upkeep, that will be available on request (by email). The fee will depend on the services required, such as kitchen use, heating, tea-making facilities etc. Most importantly, non-parish groups must have their own insurance . All preliminary requests must be made in writing (email preferred) to the parish priest. Due to the increased use the parish community will have for the parish offices, ongoing block bookings are not available.
